Which lines from President Reagan’s Address at Moscow State University contain an opinion? Choose three correct answers.

Answer
A
But progress is not foreordained. The key is freedom—freedom of thought, freedom of information
B
Perhaps most exciting are the winds of change that are blowing over the People's Republic of China
C
And that's why it's so hard for government planners, no matter how sophisticated, to ever substitute for millions of individuals
D
One of these chips has more computing power than a roomful of old-style computers
E
You know, one of the first contacts between your country and mine took place between Russian and American explorers

Explanation

A is an opinion because it presents Reagan’s judgment that freedom is the key to progress. B uses the subjective phrase “most exciting” to describe the changes in China. C is also an opinion: it argues that government planners cannot replace the decisions of millions of individuals. D and E make factual claims rather than expressing these judgments.
